Mr. E.' do Harno of Nor.th Ko
hala has kindly mado tho follow-
translation for tho Bulletin, of
an articlo on cacao cultivation
which appeared in tho Nouvo
ment Goographiquo. Tho cacao
treo produces tho nut from which
chocolate, cocoa and broma aro
derived :
Whon tho average temporaturo
don't reach 21 (Centigrade
about 75 Fahrenlioit) and the
yearly rainfall G4 in., cacao plant
ing does not pay. At Trinidad,
tho best cacao growing country in
tho world, tho nvorage tempora
turo is 2G (see above) and tho
yearly rainfall 72 in. So that ono
may safely say, that cacao plant
ing is possiblo in our Congo
colony, whore both temporaturo
nil(l rainfall reach a higher figuro
Dr. Morns says, that in order
to have good crops, ono should
not plant higher than 900 or 1000
ft. aboyo tho sea level. This is
quite likely true, at a certain dis
.tanco from tho equator, but at
San Thome thoro aro plantations,
that givo quito satisfactory results,
at a much greater altitude.
Tho (jacao plant grows from
slips, but seeds aro generally
used, an, for many reasons, they
aro much profprable. After ono
lias secured selected, fresh seeds,
astheso don't keep their germin
ating qualities long, they aro
thrust in a littlo basket, mado of
i leaves or creopors, filled with
1 mould, at a depth of about an
inch, nnd placed in tho shado.
After a fow mouths, whon the
Plnnt lms four or fivo IeilV0S. it is
1 1)UM baslcet nm nll the ground,
' at tho placo it has to occupy, and.
alter a short tuuo tho plant can
spread freely its roots, as tho bas
ket rotB in tho ground. Tho soil
I has to bo rich, deep, and moist,
, and if possiblo in tho shado, but
J if buccoss bo expected, tho plant
i has to bo protected against son
and strong winds.
As tho cacao has a long, strong,
tap root it ought not to bo cultiva
ted in places whero tho bottom is
rocky or composed of thick im
permeablo clay, covered with a
thin layer of soil. If, for ono
reason or anothor, one woro ob
liged to plant in that kind of land,
ho bus, whon sotting tho treo in,
to cut tho oud of tho tap root off;
so ubi to ul low tho side roots tp
grow strong, and to got thoir
needed subsistence from the sur
faco soil. Although not stringent
in that rospoct, 4 to 5 yards bo
twoon in ovory direction is gon
erally tho distance observed in
planting, but if tho land woro of
inferior quality, this distance
could bo smaller, as the treo is
not expected to becomo as largo in
loss Jortilo soil. Tho holes to bo
made somo timo beforohaud and
larger than tho sizo of tho root soom
to require. Whon planting, caro
should bo taken to put tho upper
soil down, and vii'o versa, in tho
hole. In ordor that the plants
may pick up immediately, it
would bo good to cover tho dis
turbed soil with grass, so that it
might not dry up too rapidly.
This is especially advisable whon
planting is dono at tho end of tho
rainy season.
A while before, and not when
sotting tho trees in, bananas
should bo planted botwoon tho
places where tho trees will have
to bo, so that thoro might bo shado
enough when thoso uro put in.
If thoro woro not shado enough
the plants ought to bo protected
by moans of long grass. This is
almost a condition siuo qua non,
as it has not to bo forgotten that
tho cacao tree, especially whon
young, is a very delicate plant,
and will not grow, un
less protected against the sun.
Whon seeds uro sown directly,
tho bananas can bo planted at tho
Price 5 Cents.
samo time. Besides bananas, it
would be advisable to set in from
distance to distance a fow rapid
and largo growing trees, as the
maiiL'o. tho blnckwood. tho liroad-
fruit, etc. tn America tho Ery
thrina umbrosa is much used for
that purpose. This, howovor, is
needed only in places whero there
is no shado. When six years the
largo trees will afford all tho need
ed shado, and tho bananas will
have to bo cut and left on thu
ground.
In places' tho seeds aro nlauted
I directly. After shaping "tho laud,
three grains aro put in tho ground
ovory fifth yard, lightly covered
with dirt, and the soil all round
with banana loaves, in order that
they may not bo dried by the sun
nor carried away by tiio hoavy
rains. If thrco nuts Bhoot, the
two weakest plants aro pulled out
and might bo used in other places.
Another mothod is used; they
aro sown in nurseries, and
transplanted after fivo months.
To that effect, boards aro put to
gether so as to make a fabric 2x(5
yds, that is covered with a palm
leaf roof. Generally no attention
is paid to tho wanner of placing
the seeds, as they always shoot
after oight or ten days. But if
caro bo taken whon sowing to put
the largest part of tho seed down,
and tho point up, germination
will take placo two or threo days
earlier. It is good in order to
keep tho peed to was.h the pulp
off, and to cover them with wood
ashes so us to keep them from
ants and othor destructive insects.
Onco planted, no other caro has
to bo taken till tho crop is to bo
gathered, that is aftor fivo
years, but to provout wto-ls aud
creepers from smothoring the
plantation; to tio up tho branches
that might hang down, and prune,
so as to have trunks of throe or
threo and a half feet; in a word,
givo them tho caro every cultivat
ed plant needs.
In tho experimental gardens of
Libreville cacao trees planted in
1887 blossomed in 1890. Tho
first llowors are generally taken
off, so as not to weaken the tree;
aud stop its growth. Tho first
crop that amounts to anything is
not taken off beforo fivo or sis
years, and tho yield is at its
npogeo at about tho twelfth yoar.
So as to make tho gathering easier
tho tops aro cut off at tho height
of about fourteen or fifteen foot
Tho plant roaches the ago of
twenty fivo years, but at that ago
it is better to cut it down, as it
hardly yields anything.
